| How on Earth is it possible to fight a California | | | | extinguish that fire. Once you come all that way, |
| Wildfire that is completely out of control? Well, | | | | you must use the aerial technology (give the ball |
| not long ago a friend of mine said that it's a lot | | | | to the striker) and score! Thank you so much for |
| like playing a championship tournament. Indeed, I | | | | putting this analogy to great use. Soccer and Fire |
| had not considered that analogy, team sports, | | | | Fighting are similar in tactics and theory. |
| especially like soccer is apropos to fighting fires. | | | | We must use our aerial fire-fighting assets day |
| For instance, in soccer you work your way | | | | and night, right now they are only allowed to do |
| strategically through the defense using all your | | | | fire drops in the light of day, but several fire |
| assets and team to score the goal. Spending half | | | | departments have done after dark aerial |
| a billion dollars to fight wild fires in Northern | | | | fire-fighting assaults with great success. |
| California, that's what they are doing right now | | | | "Fighting a Wild Fire is Like Playing a Tournament |
| (passing the ball and working through the defense) | | | | Soccer Game" and if you are going to engage in |
| is indeed a huge burden on the taxpayer. | | | | such a battle of wits with one of the most |
| Thus, it makes no sense at all to do all that, and | | | | ominous forces on the surface of this planet, you |
| then fail or become afraid to score the goal and | | | | have to play to win and hold nothing back. |
